Shingles update. I did not go to the ER after all. The swelling and redness stopped just short of the very rim of my eyelid. I used eye drops and the scratchiness went away. No infection on my cornea whatsoever. My scalp still itches like crazy in spite of starting the second round of Valtrex and double dosages of Benedryl. Lots of naps, which, apparently were needed. I am hoping to get back to my ordinary routine of slaying dragons and fighting werewolves within the next week or two. Thanking all of you for your good thoughts and prayers. Y'all are the best!

So good to hear from you, @mamacita, and know that you are doing better. Keep resting for a while longer. Even though you feel better now you want to give yourself more time before you start your "ordinary routine of slaying dragons and fighting werewolves."
Be well! We certainly missed your wise, kind posts and look forward to hearing from you again when you are able.

@mamacita So glad to hear you did not require ER services! As an autie, quite an ordeal besides not feeling well, huh? Would a rinse of chamomile tea for your hair help calm down the irritation, or perhaps the water of a cup of oatmeal soaked in a saucepan then sacrificed for the resulting water? Resting the body can do wonders to help heal.
Sending you cyber hugs and prayers of peace.
